    Summit X - Solid State Amp Opinions

    It’s more than two years ago now, so I cannot give many details anymore. But because of the powered woofers in the ML11, there wasn’t much difference in the lower registers. I listened to the two Accuphase amps at two different shops, so they were also difficult to compare. I liked the Accuphase...

    Speaker set up class

    A guy over at the forum for Roon users has posted a very good guide on how to use REW. It’s very useful, even if you don’t use Roon.

    Summit X - Solid State Amp Opinions

    I once auditioned the ESL11 with a Gryphon Diablo 120 and Accuphase E650 and E480 models. All three were great sounding amps. I finally bought a cheaper amp, the Hegel H390.

    Class A amplifiers and ESL 9?

    I auditioned my Montis speakers with an Accuphase E650. They sounded great. I also listened to a Diablo 120 from The Gryphon, which is about the same price. This was also a great match. The Montis, however, have powered woofers, so I cannot tell if these amps would drive an ESL9 with the same...

    Pass INT-25

    Last year, I auditioned my Montis speakers with an Accuphase E650 integrated amp. This was a wonderful match. I can’t comment on Pass Labs, but the Accuphase amp has similar specs: 30 watts in Class A into 8 ohms. (60 into 4, 120 into 2 and still higher into 1). Not all amps are equal, but power...

    position - directionability (is that even a word?)

    Do make sure that they both keep exactly the same vertical angle. I also tilted the back of my speakers but one was tilted a tiny bit more than the other. This caused a strange left-right incoherence in the sound that wasn't noticeable right away.

    Welcome to the forum, Cantodea. There are actually several dealers that sell Martin Logan speakers in Belgium, according to the importer.

    Welcome to the forum, Brad. When you start ripping your CDs, you may want to read this tipsheet first. The first part will give you some good advise. The rest is about using the Meridian Sooloos system, so you can skip that part.

    New member, older owner

    Hi Terry. Welcome to the forum. I am a Purity owner too. I don't think that you need to invest in an amplifier. The Purity's are self powered, and an amp (at least a power amp) will not make them sound better. A better pre amp, or a more refined integrated, might be better though, but not sound...

    Midrange and imaging issues with Vantage

    Perhaps this is a silly suggestion... But... Do you have very thick cushions on the back of your listening seat, that are very close to your ears while seated?

    Depth noise?

    My Depth only gives a loud thump when I remove the mains plug from the power strip. I always unplug the IEC first, which doesn't cause such a noise. But otherwise: no noises.

    System #502 (Purity)

    Hi Ashley, I can't really listen to Madonna for more than a few minutes... But I tried and Ray of Light doesn't have any peaks here. It's a very compressed song, though, and it doesn't sound very nice through Tidal. I did have a bass problem in the past, but moving my Purity's away from the...

    System #502 (Purity)

    Hi Ashley, Thanks for posting your system. I am a Purity owner too. Have you tried to put your speakers a bit more into your room, away from the wall? That will really create a deeper soundstage, with a better bass integration. Best regards, Arlen

    Very bad news

    Dear Gordon, I am really sorry to read about your problem. I can only hope it will get better over the next few weeks. Best regards, Arlen

    Recommendations on streamer for flac

    I use a Meridian Sooloos system and I'm very happy with it. The cheapest option here is an MC200, which has a 1TB disk and it can connect to Qnap NASses aswell. Meridian also offers integration of Tidal, which will give you access to a wealth of new music in cd quality. The downside is that the...

    Devialet SAM for Montis

    They indeed do not do Sam for sub powered ML models. I voted for both Ethos and Montis, but last September they sent me this message (and a second one regarding Montis): A few weeks ago, you voted on*voteforsam.devialet.com*website for your speakers MARTIN LOGAN – ETHOS to be one of the next...

    Accuphase Integrated Amplifier A or A/B for Montis ?

    Perhaps you could try and ask a dealer that sells both ML and Accuphase. I know one here in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, that does. They are called Multifoon. They just started selling Accuphase this summer, so I don't know if they have any experience yet with combinations of the two brands, but...
